"I think it's so hot, so there's no need to wear more clothes." Ye Zhiqiu came to Gu Chengyu's room and saw that Gu Chengyu was still wearing the same three pieces of single clothes as the previous two days, so he said.
"The weather in autumn is fickle, but I think it's better to dress well. At most, it's just a little troublesome to put on and take off once! If it rains and it suddenly gets cold, I don't bring any clothes and it's too cold! I don't care, I'm not afraid of the cold.
Yes! But are you sure your body can handle it?"
After arriving for more than a month, Gu Chengyu felt that the weather in the capital was extremely cloudy and uncertain, so it was better to wear two more layers. If it rained, it would definitely be very cold. The small quilt on the bed board of the dormitory could not cover his feet.
.
"Chengyu is right, it's better to wear two more layers! Just take them off when it gets hot." Sun Xian also agreed with Gu Chengyu's statement. He had always been prudent and thought it was better to nip it in the bud.
When they arrived at the examination room, Sun Xian and the others calmly searched themselves and entered the dormitory under the eyes of others looking at them as fools.
The second test is about the Five Classics, together with the imperial edicts, judgments, lists, and imperial edicts. The text of the scriptures and meanings is required to be more than 300 words. This is similar to the first test. Anyway, it is both breaking and completing the topic.
Gu Chengyu was already very proficient in these. He looked at the meaning of the scripture, "To the people of the world, gather the goods of the world, trade and retreat, everyone gets his own place."
This question comes from the Book of Changes, and it talks about the phenomenon of exchange of things. People open markets, exchange things for things, exchange what they have, and engage in some simple exchange activities.
These are not difficult, and the amount of questions is quite large. Even if Gu Chengyu's mind is quick, if he wants to hand in the papers before noon on the third day, he must speed up.
By noon, the weather was unusually hot, which made people feel very depressed. Gu Chengyu looked at the sky outside through the small window and felt that it might rain. There was no sun outside, and the weather became gloomy.
Sure enough, in the evening, the sky was dark, and it started to rain heavily outside. Before that, Gu Chengyu had already moved the test papers and draft paper to the inside, so as not to let the rain pour in through the small window when it rained heavily, and then all the previous efforts would be wasted. It was just a whistle.
The room was dark, and even if Gu Chengyu could see clearly, he had to light candles to show off.
"Ah! My scratch paper!" As soon as it started raining heavily, the examinee opposite shouted. Maybe he had been concentrating on writing answers and didn't notice that it was going to rain outside.
Gu Chengyu took a look outside and found that only a corner was wet. It seemed that what he had written before could only be re-conceived. Fortunately, it was not a test paper, otherwise the candidate would have failed the test before and would have to wait another three years.
Gu Chengyu praised his wise move. It rained for about an hour and finally stopped. But just after it rained, the weather turned cooler. The capital was much colder than the south. As soon as it cools down in mid-autumn,
At night, the temperature drops sharply.
Fortunately, he had previously persuaded Ye Zhiqiu and the others to wear two more pieces, otherwise Ye Zhiqiu's body would definitely not be able to endure it.
Although Ye Zhiqiu in the dormitory on the other side still felt a little cold, he was very glad to have listened to Gu Chengyu and the others. Those people who were laughing at them before must be trembling with cold now. Ye Zhiqiu wrapped the quilt on the bed
My body felt much warmer.
The 15th is the third session, and the third session is about the Five Strategies, which is much more difficult than the previous two sessions.
Gu Chengyu looked at one of the policy papers, how to solve the problem of border detainment.
Huh? This question is very profound! They are just scholars, can they still go to war? But since the question is raised, all we can do is think of ways.
There was a people called Daxing on the border of the Dayan Dynasty. They were a nomadic people. Their agriculture and commerce were not as good as those of the Dayan, but the animal husbandry of the Dayan was very developed.
Why Daxing repeatedly invades the border is because in winter, when the grass and trees wither, their life becomes difficult. Therefore, they will repeatedly violate the border in winter. In fact, if the grass is fat and the horses are strong, border violations are rare.
.
Further into Daxing is the desert, and the climate there is even more severe. Some of the land is so barren that it is impossible to grow crops. So in the final analysis, the material is too poor.
If we want to solve this problem, we must solve it from the root. The first thing that comes to mind is of course the opening of mutual markets. Opening a trade exchange place at the border can exchange things for things. Daxing can exchange for daily necessities, and Dayan can also exchange for those fats.
Fat and strong horses and other specialties.
As long as Daxing has enough food to survive the winter, there will definitely be fewer violations. Of course, Gu Chengyu absolutely disagrees with those who used princesses to get married in previous lives. How can a country or a dynasty sacrifice the happiness of a woman to change the dynasty?
Peace? How many years can such peace last?
The living habits of the Central Plains area are different from those of the herding peoples. How many princesses were really willing to get married in the past lives?
When the mutual trade is opened, troops must be sent to guard it. Otherwise, if the people are strong and strong, maybe because they are a nation that grew up on horseback and everyone is fat and strong, robbery will happen frequently.
As for the subsequent strengthening of equipment and training of soldiers and generals, it only requires a few subsequent additions.
It was already evening after writing two policy topics. Gu Chengyu was hungry. He wrote seriously and did not notice the passage of time. He found some noodles from the space and cooked them. He did not dare to eat other delicious food. After all,
The smell will come out.
After the third day, Gu Chengyu handed in the papers at noon and was waiting for Sun Xian and others outside the examination room. The provincial examination ended today, a total of nine days and six nights, and now Gu Chengyu felt relaxed all over.
All he has to do next is wait for the rankings to be released, and he doesn’t know what his ranking will be this time, although he is quite confident in himself.
"Chengyu! It's so early for you to come out!" As soon as Ye Zhiqiu walked out of the door, he saw Gu Chengyu waiting outside.
"Senior Brother Ye looks confident!" Since he passed the exam anyway, Gu Chengyu also had the intention to joke.
"I don't know if I can pass it. Anyway, I've tried my best. If I can't pass it, I'll try again in three years!" Maybe because his family is better off, Ye Zhiqiu's burden is lighter, and he is more open-minded than before.
"I also do my best and obey fate. We have finished the exam, and there are at least fifteen days until the results are released. We can go shopping in the capital!" Gu Chengyu heard that there are several major attractions in the capital, but he hasn't had time to go there yet! He has been there before
Busy with work and exams, I haven't been around the capital yet.
"That's good! We missed the Mid-Autumn Festival again this year, so we can bring some specialties from the capital when we go back. My mother and the others can't go out either, so I want to bring some for my sisters. My eldest sister has already reached the age of proposing marriage." Ye Zhiqiu
I feel a bit sad when I say this.
In the past, his family was poor and matchmakers did not come to visit, which he could understand. After all, he had to support his younger brother. Who would be so generous as to provide money for his brother-in-law? But now he is also a scholar, and people who come to propose marriage are also
There are more. It’s just that he can’t let go of his eldest sister. Maybe when he goes back this time, his eldest sister should get engaged!
